Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)I have had My Grace Bravado-X (GDI-IRD4500M) just a couple of weeks now and I am not sure how I lived without it. I have listened to great music I am sure I would have never heard before. The sound is good for a table sized radio but I wanted better and so I ordered and installed Carver TS-241S Home Theater Speakers - Pair. These speakers more than doubled the sound quality! The internal speakers are fine for voice and music but I wanted to fill the whole house with music. Thanks to Grace, hook up was easy with plain old fashioned speaker wire. The radio is in the kitchen and I wanted to be able to turn up the volume enough so I could still hear the radio easily over the usual kitchen noise. The Grace class D 16-Watt digital amplifier really cranks up these external speakers. I am using a NETGEAR RangeMax Wireless-N300 Gigabit Router with USB WNR3500L and all works fine. You only have to know your router network code and the radio supplied all the other information needed to set up. I had my radio playing in 10 minutes! Also the enclosed user guide is better than you usually get these days. It covers most everything you will need to know. Adding stations that you find and want to keep is easy at [...]. Add your station to your list (after you set up your free account) and by the time you walk into the other room it will already be on your radio. Really cool!
Constuction is very good and the unit is very impressive looking on display. There is nothing on this radio that looks or feels cheap. The remote is just like your TV remote only smaller. When the unit is off the display clearly shows the time, day, month and year. The display can be easliy read in day light or a dark room and is adjustable to your preference. I use reading glasses for almost everything but I do not need them to see the display on this radio which for me is a big plus.
Grace customer service should be something you should really take into consideration when making your purchase decision. After a few days my radio developed a minor problem and I was not sure if it was my fault or not being that this is my first internet radio. I emailed customer service at the Grace website and received very quick responses. You can also call them but I prefer email so I did not. Every thing worked out and I am giving Grace customer service *5* STARS. Grace seems to really care that you are happy with your purchase.
I read every reveiw I could find on ALL internet radios and this one kept coming up as my favorite selection. As you can see by the above I think you will find that this radio will be above your expectations as it was with me. I did purchase a SquareTrade 3-Year Electronics Warranty ($) just in case. There is clear plastic to protect the front of radio during shipping that you should remove. I could not get a hold of the corner to peel off. I finally stuck a small piece of tape on one corner and it lifted right off. The problem is the front of the radio is recessed which makes it difficult to remove.
